#Simplex
(2/3)

...(Lösungs-)Auswahl nur ein Kriterium.

Bei derart "systemkritischen" Anwendungen ist das "Lieferantenrisiko" m.E. mindestens genauso wichtig. Der #Startup hat es bislang "einfach nicht im Kreuz".

Außerdem ist natürlich der bisherige "Netzwerkeffekt" negativ zu bewerten (zu wenige Installationen).

Hinzu kommt, dass ich ein großes Länderrisiko sehe: seit dem #Brexit ging es mit dem #Datenschutz im #UK...

Wer auf den #Google Übersetzer verzichten möchte, den kann ich #Deepl empehlen! Hab es selber viel genutzt und wusste bis dato nicht einmal, dass es ein Unternehmen aus #Deutschland ist. Mit einem Marktwert von 1,85 Milliarden Euro, ist es das wertvollste deutsche #KI #startup .

“[Mistral's] models […] are firmly middling. […] So #Mistral has tried to make its name by competing more obliquely. For instance, many of its models are #opensource: anyone may download and use them without explicit permission, for no charge. Others are released under the company’s own "research" #licence; commercial users must pay for them, #hobbyists and #hackers can fool around with them #freely.”

Mastodon, I need your help. I'm researching a topic of maybe something I want to build in the future in the email space.

Can you help me out with this survey where I try to understand how you use email? The survey is absolutely anonymous, and you would help me out a lot. (Please boost friends) 🙏🏻

survey.obrhoff.deMail SurveyThanks a lot for your time 🙏

Would you rather:
a) Use a service that themed and tied a bunch of FOSS projects into one cohesive package
b) Use a service that uses pre-existing standards (ie ActivityPub, Matrix, etc) but has an all-new UI
c) Use a service that is open-source but uses very few existing standards and is it's own thing

Why or why not?

@krazykitty Une piste consiste à se battre sur le terrain de ceux qui réduisent la science à une brique dans la production de valeur marchande : la #valorisation de la recherche.

Depuis 25 ans, on est organisés pour faire émerger des #startup et vendre des brevets et des licences logicielles. Les EPST sont ultras connectés aux entreprises du #capitalisme

En revanche, si on veut développer des techno dans une perspective d'innovation sociale, c'est un peu le désert. Les écosystèmes de l' #ess et de l' #esr se connaissent très mal.

Transférons des techno en #opensource dans des #scop et des #scic. Vive la #ScienceOuverte / #OpenScience

“A venture capital-backed ‘AI performance monitoring system for factory workers’ is proposing what appears to be dehumanizing surveillance of factories, where machine vision tracks workers’ hand movements and output so a boss can look at graphs and yell at them about efficiency.”

@kdramarama
Attorney Woo was really great and I'm looking really looking forward for the second season.
The Glory was a bit too grim for me, but I did finish it.
Stranger and Goblin I did like both.

My recommendations would be
- Sky Castle (the first episode is a bit boring, but ends with a bang and after that I could not stop watching and it become one of my all time favourites)
- Search WWW (good plot, bautifully framed and shot, excellent music)
- Start-Up (also interesting plot and high production quality, contains one of the most ridiculously funny moments few dramas after it have referenced)
- It's Ok Not To Be OK (the female lead character is quite bad representation, which have turned some off, but otherwise very touching and fun and Moon Sang-tae (played by Oh Jung-se) is one of the best represented autistic characters)
